Share your chapter titles!

[Algae]

My favorite bit about finishing a new chapter is picking a title! Intriguing? Ominous? Surprisingly straightforward? Maybe some foreshadowing? I wanna see how everyone else uses them! :> And feel free to explain your intentions behind the choice!

Here are mine from "Shortcut Through Enthralla" so far:
Prologue
Chapter 1: Home
Chapter 2: The Snake
Chapter 3: Gentle persuasion
Chapter 4: Sidetracked
Chapter 5: Hailstorm
Chapter 6: Potatoes au Gratin
Chapter 7: Departure
Chapter 8: The Drunken Sundowner
Chapter 9: Brooms and Dusters
Chapter 10: The Sunken Sundowner

PS: When the name for chapter 10 downed on me I had a good cackle

[Oriflamme]

I like to have fun with my title but I do have to balance finding a title that only I find funny and something that sums up the chapter.

Here is the title of most of the future chapters I have planned.

Chapter 05: the wedding Part 1
Chapter 06: the wedding Part 2
Chapter 07: Talk Between Women Alternate cut title: Lukewarm reception
Chapter 08: Alex’s Wrath
Chapter 09: a Nice Stroll with the Colonel

Rose 05: Encounter at work
Rose 06: Do you have friends?
Rose 07: Girls’ night out
Rose 08: This is (not) a date

Chapter 10: the day after
Chapter 11: packaged deal
Chapter 12: Adult conversation
Chapter 14: The Castellan of Murgorge
Chapter 15: Where is Alma?
Chapter 17: What’s the deal with train food

[ArtGremlin]

I don’t really name chapters, but the episode names are pretty interesting. Alright, we’ve got:

Reflection
The Island
A lovely afternoon
Public nuisance
Where
Wait…
Oh no
Brother
No
Sam (R.I.P. Sam. Oh nvm he literally can’t)
Escape
Exit
Gasp!
Poisoned
Smile!
Friends
Gossip
Servants
Misunderstanding
Family
Fun
Rocks
And the upcoming episode will probably be named “Cheese”

6. Jujutsu Implement

sometimes it can be troublesome not knowing what to choose

Count me in with the folks who have a hard time picking chapter names. I like it best when the chapter names are all on theme, like in Change 123 where they're all math concepts.

All my chapter titles for Etherwood come from the oracle cards I'm using for the covers -
1. The Star
2. Powers of Air
3. Illusionary Success
4. Force Shortened
5. Princess of the Shining Flame
6. Wheel of Fortune

[ArtGremlin]

Mev happened

[ambermdo]

Here's mine. I know some of them aren't the best

1. Childhood
2. Discussing history
3. 1925
4. Partners
5. The Wolf
6. Lunch date
7. Bonding
8. the Dance
9. Catfight
10. Dorothy finds Brian at home
11. Breakup
12. Back in the present
13. Dorothy's decision
14. Victoria’s plan
15. Transformation
16. Sacrifice
17. Reunion
18. Happy ending

AAAAH Your chapter titles go so hard!!!

[Algae]

"The bite of a falsehood" is so intriguing and sounds so cool! My favourite!

[Algae]

Woaah your titles are also so cool!! I really like "Edge of Civilisation" and "Heroes' Play"!

[Algae]

I can relate to that! There are some chapters that are particularly hard to name too, and I love your titles as well!

[Algae]

Your chapter titles are SO. GOOD!!! So poetic waaah!! I loved "Just Smile" followed by "Don't Laugh" and my absolute favorite is "Honest, Awkward Courage" that line is just RAW

[Algae]

Oooh themed chapter titles!!! Those are super duper cool as well!!
